Blake Griffin

The two-month slog that is the NBA playoffs commenced Saturday, replete as usual with several players connected to Hampton Roads and/or Boo Williams' barnstorming all-star team. And while this group lacks a seminal presence such as Alonzo Mourning and Allen Iverson, it is intriguing nonetheless.

The Atlanta Hawks' 60-22 regular-season record was the best in franchise history, dating to the team's days in Milwaukee and St. Louis. A revelation as the Eastern Conference's top seed, Atlanta's bench rotation includes guard Kent Bazemore from Old Dominion and forward Mike Scott from Virginia and Chesapeake's Deep Creek High.
